First Sentence
In the tunnel where I was raped, a tunnel that was once an underground entry to an amphitheatre, a place where actors burst forth from underneath the seats of a crowd, a girl had been murdered and dismembered.
Review
Alice Sebold is a powerful writer. Be it fiction or memoir she has a way of drawing you in with words. Like The Lovely Bones, Lucky is difficult to read a times. This memoir is rawer than fiction. It makes your skin crawl with hurt and revulsion to what is happening.
It is strange to say I enjoyed reading a novel about rape but I did. Alice Sebold makes you feel a roller coaster of emotions and I found it hard to put Lucky down.
